The crows have found our house. They sit in the tree calling loudly to whomever and whatever about …. who knows what.
All summer long I have tried and tried to take photos of bumble bees, humming birds and red-wing black birds
At least I was able to capture this one crow before he flew off with his flock mates.
Happy Sunday everyone!

Even though the days are nice and warm the nights are chilly, dropping into the high 30s. Gradually the trees are pushing off thier leaves, scattering the last of summer onto the paths in my garden.
The evening light through the corn also speaks of turning leaves.
Corn harvest next, but it has to freeze first. For now I’m going to enjoy these beautiful warm days and cool nights. Getting through the bean harvest is enough for the moment.

Cleaning the Ditches
We’ve been cleaning out all the ditches. Terry has this cool tool that he made which cuts our time down in half. A person just puts the tool in the ditch and the water pushes it along pushing the sand and dirt in front of it.
We still have to scrape the sides and shovel some of the ditches, but boy does this make life easier!
Happy Tuesday everyone!

Last Load
We finished! The last load of the beans left the field at 6:00 p.m. heading to the Beanery. The truck will get in line. By 6:30 the next morning we will be there to drive the truck through the unloading area. We are about 7th in line so by noon or 2:00 depending on if something doesn’t break down the 2011 Pinto Bean Harvest will be over for the year!
Then in about two to three weeks (if the weather holds and the moisture level drops) we will start combining corn!
Whew!
This is what we work for…Harvest!
Have a nice Sunday everyone!

I thank everyone who left me comments on the blog and I apologize for not responding to each comment. It isn’t because I didn’t want to. Last week I slipped on the very wet, muddy ditch bank and dislocated a rib on my breast bone. I am getting better every day, but still have to use caution with my left arm. The worst part is the pain whenever I take a breath, but that too is starting to ease.
The rains have finally left…
Leaving us will lots of sunshine and warm days with cool nights. True fall is upon us.
If everything goes as planned we hope to be able to start the pinto bean harvest soon.

Finally!
Now if the rain that keep hovering around here will just take its little self on down to Texas and leave us a couple of months of sunshine that would be good.
Please everyone find it in your hearts to pray for the land — that rain comes to Texas and other parts of our drought stricken country. Water is the life force of good…pray for water to heal the land and bring life back to the south.
